Using OpenESQL (Embedded SQL) in Visual COBOL, and getting a SQLCODE -19514 error when fetching the next row from a cursor.The cursor is opened, a fetch is done successfully and then the program does an update on a different table. After the table is updated, the program performs a fetch of the next row, and the SQLCODE error -19514 is returned.

Has anyone ever used the SEND and RECEIVE verbs to communicate to other programs inACU, if so, can you send me the source or snippet of the source and how successful were you using it. TIA Alex#receive#AcuCobol

I am using Embedded SQL in Visual COBOL, and I am getting an 19514 error message when fetching the next record.  My cursor is using a temp table, and during some point in the program, the program updates a different table (that uses the same data as the temp table. Once the table is updated, the program performs the fetching of the next record, and we get that error.  Any ideas on what would be causing this?

My vendor has written AcuCobol programs with GUI screens.  I install the software on the main Windows 2019 server and all is good.  I then publish the wrun32.exe program on my Remote Desktop collection and then download the rdp file to my local machine.  When I execute the .rdp session from my machine and then log into the software, I have window refresh issues on query screens. For example, I go to customer inquiry, search for a customer, then select customer.  The customer data is not displayed on the GUI screen until I take my mouse and literally move the customer inquiry screen just a bit.  Basically the data won't populate the screen until I force a refresh.  It seems once the refresh is done initially, it then refreshes normally upon subsequent queries until I close the window and reopen.  I have talked with the vendor and they don't know why this is happening.  They even updated the runtime to version 10.4.1 on the server toda

With the deprecation of Microsoft Internet Explorer, ACUCOBOL-GT 10.5.0 is the first release that removes the dependencies from this browser and its related libraries. One of these dependencies consists in the mechanism used by AcuBench to show a preview of the HTML-based Reports. The library here used is called AcuBenchPrint.dll.

When creating a table, DBCONNECT will move key values to the top of the row. For example a file definition of; select MyTable assign to "MyTable" lock mode is manual organization is indexed access is dynamic record key is MyKey with duplicates file status is MyStatus. ****************************************************************** data division. file section. fd MyTable. 01 MyRecord. 03 MyField1 pic 9(5). 03 MyField2 pic x(3). 03 MyField3 pic 9(5). 03 MyField4 pic 9(5). 03 MyField5 pic 9(5). 03 MyKey pic x(3). Will generate a table that looks like this; My question is; Why does DB connect do this and if i create a table outside of DBCONNECT, do i need to ensure keys are at the top of the table? Thanks in advance for any help

Visual COBOL 8.0 supports the new OpenESQL SQL Error Mapping feature. This feature enables you to customize how error information is returned to the SQLCODE, SQLSTATE, SQLERR and MFSQLMESSAGETEXT fields in your application. This is done by replacing the values normally returned by both OpenESQL and your database with values you specify. This feature is useful when migrating applications between different databases, and when your application logic depends on receiving specific values for error and warning conditions. Please see the product documentation here:#NewRelease-Feature#VisualCOBOL#OpenESQL#VisualCOBOL#SupportTips/SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#sqlcode#SQLerrormapping

Hi, I am using Net Express 3.1. Dialog System gives C++ error on my Windows 11 computer. I get this error when I want to create a copybook. The same problem occurred when migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The problem was fixed with later Windows updates. Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a solution to the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.#error#dialogsystem#netexpress3.10

Problem: Why do I need an Activation Code? Resolution: Many of our products require an activation code when installed more than 6 months after purchase. Normally, this code is retrieved automatically if the system can connect with activate.liant.com. However, all Evaluation versions require an activation code that must be obtained manually. If the system cannot retrieve a valid code automatically, the LSRV: number, serial/registration number, a list of 4 four letter words known as a "machine digest", and a message directing you to obtain the activation code manually  will display.   To obtain the activation code, bring up your browser and enter "activate.liant.com" (without the quotes). Enter the required information. The activation code will be sent via email. If there is a problem with retrieving the code, which is another list of 4 four letter words, please contact support@liant.com for assistance.   Activation codes are good fo

Hi, VS Enterprise 2019 (v.16.11.5) VC 7.0.00248 SN I am compiling one of my .pco files and I get the following Output: ... error COBCH0641 : '.' missing following procedure name declaration, or unrecognized verb ... In the Error List I get loads of errors (strangely, other .pco files appear also) When I doubleclick on the error in the Output window, VS puts me on the last line (2576) of the program. I can see the red ‘wave’ on line 2576 but that is not helping me. I also tried to Show All Copybooks but the red ‘wave’ is still on line 2576 . When I doubleclick on the error in the Error List window, VS puts me on line 1753 for some reason. I never touched the .pco file, I only changed 1 .cpy and 2 .cob files. These .cpy and .cob files are used in other programs and they compile fine. How can I get to the exact line where the compile error occurs ? I really don’t see what is happening here. Can anybody help me ? Thanks! Kr, Stefan
